Questions and Answers

Which type of navigation allows an aircraft to fly a specific path between two 3D-defined points in space?

  • Performance-based navigation (PBN)
  • Required navigation performance (RNP) (correct)
  • ATC radar monitoring
  • Area navigation (RNAV)

    • What is the key difference between RNAV and RNP systems?

  • The level of performance required for a specific procedure or airspace
  • The requirement for on-board performance monitoring and alerting (correct)
  • The need for ATC radar monitoring
  • The ability to self-monitor navigation in respect to terrain

    • When is RNP used instead of RNAV?

  • When self-monitoring navigation in respect to terrain is required
  • When flying a specific path between two 3D-defined points in space
  • When ATC radar monitoring is not provided (correct)
  • When a specific procedure or airspace requires a higher level of performance

    • What does an RNP of 10 mean?
